Here ’s the panorama outside the event , courtesy of gdgt . [ gdgt ]
9:08 AM ON SEP 1 2010
We ’ve all been discussing this amongst ourselves , but it ’s very strange that Apple decided to stream this event , seeing as they have n’t stream an event in so many years . What are they attempt to do ? Is it about making certain mass see and hear exactly what they said , alternatively of being filtered through the insistence ? Do they just want to try out some Modern engineering and infrastructure ?
9:16 AM ON SEP 1 2010
speak of cyclosis , it ’s going to be very interesting seeing what Apple add up up with , now that Google TV is a thing – a thing that subsist . I do n’t know if they can just swear on Apple / iTunes content without being able-bodied to drag in other parts of the internet .
9:18 AM ON SEP 1 2010
What they really need to do is have much more interoperability between AppleTV / iTV , iPads and iPhones . Imagine plant item in Dungeon Siege or Torchlight . They ’re good on their own , but when you have more than one , or even the entire set , you get bonuses . Give masses bonus for owning more of your equipment lines , and you ’ll be selling more .
9:21 AM ON SEP 1 2010
Chances of this happen : Doubtful . But this is going to be my chemical reaction if it does .
9:23 AM ON SEP 1 2010
And if you do n’t get what that last gaming doctrine of analogy meant , imagine feature boots , and thorax armour , and a helmet . Each are good , but if you own all 3 in a set , you get a forcefield . Or a flaming sword . Except in this specific typeface , it ’d be something much lamer .
9:25 AM ON SEP 1 2010
People are still lingering outside the effect . Nobody ’s being let in yet . barefaced count , who knows .
9:26 AM ON SEP 1 2010

Rosa Golijan : Which musician are you hoping will make an visual aspect today?Market Research9:40 AM ON SEP 1 2010
Out of those five choices , I cogitate Gaga is the likeliest . Then again , maybe Jewel too .
9:44 AM ON SEP 1 2010
People are start to be countenance in , set off with program first . Because if you do n’t , someone ’s going to get bankrupt with a elephantine camera .
9:46 AM ON SEP 1 2010
The stream ’s start ! People are filing in and getting induct .
9:48 AM ON SEP 1 2010
This is a fancy stream with various tv camera angles too .

To go back to the activating for a bit , Jobs says that Google might be counting upgrades , and Apple is not numerate raise for their energizing figure .
10:08 AM ON SEP 1 2010
Today they ’re announce iOS 4.1 . “ A lot of glitch have been fix . law of proximity detector bug , Bluetooth bugs , iPhone 3 K performance bug . All the microbe we get mails on . ”
They ’re also adding HDR photograph ( High Dynamic Range photo ) , standard in 4.1 . The ability to upload HD video over Wi - Fi .
Also , telecasting show rentals and Game Center .
10:09 AM ON SEP 1 2010
So what ’s up with High Dynamic Range photograph ? Jobs is cash in one’s chips to excuse .
When you flip on HDR , it consider three freestanding exposure : One regular exposure , one under exhibit shot , and one over exposed dig . They keep both the normal pic and the HDR photo , which is meld from all 3 exposures .
10:10 AM ON SEP 1 2010
He ’s showing some examples of how HDR works . Here is our archive of HDR photography , if you need to see guessing taken on high - destruction cameras .
“ For some exposure it ’s reasonably great . It ’s built into iOS 4.1 . ”
Another thing is Game Center . It ’s both an API to grant developer to put multiplayer into their games , as well as an app by itself . Think Xbox Live for Xbox 360 .
10:11 AM ON SEP 1 2010
10:12 AM ON SEP 1 2010
you could get invites from friend to toy games , get automatically matched to other players , and the other standard multiplayer features you ’d expect .
